The West Ham United supporter who clashed with Mark Noble during a pitch invasion at the weekend has taken to social media and apologised for his actions.

Frustration with the way in which the club is being run by co-owners David Gold and David Sullivan reached boiling point on Saturday during the 3-0 defeat at the hands of Burnley at the London Stadium as fans took vented their anger towards the board in various ways.

Some remained seated and sung "We're not West Ham anymore", “Sack the board” and “Where's the money gone?", while others decided to make their way onto the pitch and confront the Hammers players - with one in particular grabbing hold of the corner flag and holding it above his head.

One of the most talked about images of the protest was of Noble having to physically restrain a supporter and explained he was simply protecting himself.

In the aftermath of the ugly scenes inside the ground, Irons fans have been widely criticised and the supporter involved with Noble has broken his silence about a "moment of stupidness".

As reported by Claret & Hugh, the supporter says “I want to write to Twitter to West Ham fans, my fans, my beloved team, it was a moment of stupidness from me but passion took over and I stepped (over) the line and went on the field but I went on there with two things in my head.

"One, to get the point across I want the board out which was on the poster in my hand and also to wake the team up. You can clearly see that I'm waving my hands up at the players to wake them up, I was even shouting Wake Up West Ham and then out of nowhere Mark Noble came at me.
